Petroleum [English translation]

Rain

Sneaks down and whispers new languages

on the windows

Seasons are a distant memory

traces of inland ice sheets

The ground lies scraped up

Preparing space for highways

Prepare a way

for new owners

Do you believe there is something unknown out there

that miraculously remained undetected

Something that hides itself in the depths

that bides its time

and dreams of petroleum and crystals

that dreams of fossils and dead coral

that dreams of ray-damaged atolls

Tonight

Say

what you always wanted to have said

to me

Our children will sweep the blankets

over our heads

The curtain goes down and the lights go out

and left behind are only legends

of highways

Prepare a way

for new owners

Do you believe there is something unknown out there

A prehistoric god that did not want to be woken

Something that hides itself in the depths

that bides its time

and dreams of petroleum, heavy metals

that dreams of fossils and dead coral

that dreams of ray-damaged atolls

Tonight

Do you believe there is something unknown out there

that miraculously remained undetected

Something that sleeps there in the depths

that bides its time

and dreams of petroleum and crystals

that dreams of fossils and dead coral

that dreams of ray-damaged atolls

Tonight
